 | 30 Gallon 3 Spot Gourami Tank Mates? |
exu Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 43 Votes: 1 Registered: 12-May-2004  | Just got myself a 30 gallon tank set up that I plan on moving my pair of 3 spot gouramis in. Just wanted your opinion's on some potential tank mates for them. These pair get along great and have already mated a couple times. Completely on their own and unfortunately none of the fry survived. they are going into the new take by themselves. the only thing i have planned on for sure are some sort of pleco and some otto cats. thanks!

Any of those fish will work, just some ideas. She looks really striking with the rasboras and 3 of my platies are blue mickey mouse.....it is very striking to see them together.
